Creating the safest Haven

Nothing matters more to us and our guests than the safety and security of our holiday parks. Our dedicated Security teams are available 24/7 to make sure every single guest can feel free to relax, have a great time and enjoy the holiday they’ve dreamed of. They are often the first people our guests see when they arrive at the park, offering directions and help, and they’ll see our guests on their way with a friendly wave when the holiday’s over.

We really care for every single guest.

A great environment for growth

Our parks are beautiful, safe, clean places to be and our Maintenance and Grounds teams are dedicated to creating stunning surroundings for our guests to relax in. Whether you’re handy with a hoe or skilled with a screwdriver, we’ve got a wide range of opportunities for passionate, practical people to do great work in fantastic locations.

I love working in the open air in such a beautiful place!

Homes from home

Some of our guests enjoy our parks so much, they want to buy a permanent holiday caravan! That’s where our Caravan Sales teams come in: passionate people with tons of knowledge and expertise at their fingertips and a skill for outstanding customer service. If you can help our customers to feel relaxed from the first enquiry to the day they collect their keys, you’d be a great addition to our team
